Course Pricing
Finally, course pricing is based on group size, and you will have the opportunity to adjust the group size accordingly before purchasing. A 30-minute course orientation will then be scheduled with each participant. Teachers will also schedule a performance evaluation with their coach at the midpoint and a call at the conclusion to discuss next steps for further development.

Teacher Surveys
Complimentary pricing is now available to teachers who complete all surveys and provide objective feedback. Teacher surveys will be conducted throughout 2026 to identify the best classroom locations in your area. Ideally, we would like to conduct our instructor-led classes on-site daily, but we realize this may not be possible for all participants.
A 90-minute class duration has been set, but further surveys to increase participation will reveal preferred class sizes, class frequency, overall course duration, and preferred teacher roles, such as course refinement or assisting with business growth.
Once all survey responses are compiled and classes are scheduled throughout your area, attendance will be taken to ensure everyone is prepared for increasingly challenging teaching drills.
Our first official “Teaching Chess Basics” course will launch in the Spring of 2027.
Group Calls
These are 2-hour casual meet-and-greets held at various times throughout each week with people we want to get to know and have meaningful and lasting conversations with. We would love to share with you our passion for chess and chess education. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know more about the other participants.
We will take a few moments to discuss your teacher survey responses and chart a path together for further development of learning and teaching chess basics and beyond. We will send you a printable PDF of your survey responses to have handy during our discussion, along with a course guide to coordinate class dates with your learning group.
We are very much looking forward to this meeting with you. It will be a great honor for us to witness those "aha moments" you will experience throughout the course.
